Integrated Care Pathways Musculoskeletal (ICPMSK)

ICPMSK stands for Integrated Care Pathways Musculoskeletal and is a provider led service delivery model funded by ACC. The model gives health care providers the flexibility to design a fully funded, streamlined, multidisciplined, patient centred rehabilitation and treatment plan, to enable the patient to move seamlessly from injury to recovery.

Acupuncture & Dry Needling

Clinicians within Physiosouth offer traditional Chinese based acupuncture and/or dry needling for musculoskeletal conditions as a primary or complementary physiotherapy treatment within the patient’s overall journey of care.

Bike Fit

Our philosophy focuses on fitting the bike to you, and you to the bike. This involves a two-part assessment: first understanding your history and reasons for seeking guidance; second, observing how you sit on the bike and identifying any weak or inflexible areas that you can work on at home.

Successful Rehabilitation

Gaining the best possible outcome from your physiotherapy treatment requires a little more than just doing your exercises. This brief guide for patients outlines some concepts that can really make a difference beyond your physiotherapist’s treatment.

Mindfulness in a Nutshell

Nobody comes to Physiosouth to learn mindfulness. Patients come because of a physical injury, e.g. a back problem, a knee problem etc. Our belief systems tell most of us that a physical injury of a certain degree or size causes a related amount of pain. Like injury X = X amount of pain, and injury Y = Y amount of pain. This is incorrect.
